So- - Okay.
Yes, Bob.
Plantar fasciitis foot pain.
Very common.
- Can be very difficult to treat.
- That's another thing I was gonna say.
It can last for months. - Yes.
- And people continue to struggle with it.
And we- - And we last for years.
- Well, yeah.
- Hopefully not.
- Not if you follow
our instructions, exactly. - Follow our instruction.
- So anyways, plantar fasciitis
we're talking about that fascia.
It's a connective tissue
that goes from your basically your base
of your toes to your heel.
So, wide, tough sinus
tissue.
But if it's irritated,
it usually gets irritated
right where it connects to the heel.
And there's a spot right here,
every time I have a patient
and I'm kinda assessing it
and I'll find a spot,
I'll push right there and they go, "Ooh."
That's the spot.
Very common.
Not always, but most of the time.
- But the thought is that hard to believe is that it tore.
- Great - It's actually torn.
- Yap.
From the bone or right next to the bone.
And if there's not a real good blood supply inherently-
- So it doesn't heal well.
- Yeah, slow to heal.
But we've got ways
to get you around that. - Plus you walk
on it every day,
so you're tearing it apart again quite often.
- Exactly, and that's why continual irritating.
- A lot of things that we're gonna talk about or show you,
are to take the stress off that area
or to prestress it before you get out of bed.
- People don't know what the hell you're talking.
My mouth is getting badly,
I don't know. - All right.
- Anyways, so, but there's good news,
because we've had a number of patients
and we found that their success has turned around,
by changing one or two treatments.
And it's typically it's different for a lot of people.
- Yeah, it is.
- I wish we could give you one particular thing
for everyone across the board would fix it.
But it's just not that way.
- And that's why...
Do we only mention now XXX Brad?
Our video program?
- No, because I wanna talk
about couple of things. - Okay go ahead.
- Examples.
- All right, stay tuned.
- I've had a couple people
I can think of right off the top of my head.
They changed their shoes
that they walk in,
and it got better very obvious.
It was the shoes.
The shoes were wore out.
Do you have a question?
- Yes, well, I was gonna make the point
that actually I am that person.
I was getting plantar fasciitis in both feet.
- Yap. - But I caught it right away,
and I changed shoes so it stopped.
- Okay, pretty beautiful.
Another situation.
There's stretches you can do for that plantar fascia.
But if you don't stretch properly
let's say you're just doing the ankle stretch,
and you're stretching it like this.
You can do a number of different ways.
But one thing that we have found and studies have shown,
if you stretch the big toe along with it,
it completes the stretch.
And that can be a real
and doing it in the morning
before you get out of bed. - And do it before
you get out of bed, right.
Because- - Little things like this-
- All night long, the plantar fasciitis has been healing.
- Yap. - You step on it,
it breaks right opening up.
- Yap, yap.
- So that's why we recommend one
that you stretch before you go to bed.
And two, you put your shoes on before you get out of bed.
- Exactly
- Have them right by the bed.
Right, I mean, you know, before you stand up.
- (laughs) Sure.
We've had people that responded really well
to wearing night splints all night long,
keep the stress out,
keep it for the fasciitis does not tighten up.
Question? - Oh, no, I thought I could-
- He's one of them.
- No, my wife had plantar fasciitis,
and that was the thing that helped her.
- Sure. - A night splint.
Really, it was amazing actually,
'cause we tried all these other things
and nothing was working.
Did the night splint like two days, it was better.
- There you go. - So, see now, again.
Why did that work for her
and not for others?
I don't know. - Right, exactly.
So what we've done,
and Bob is really responsible for this.
As we've got 14 different videos to cover
all of the various treatments and things to watch for.
So that example I've had people say,
"I need this video for...
"Do I put heat or cold on my plantar fasciitis?"
And I'm thinking to myself,
I'm reading the comments
like, we have that video.
But, I can't instruct them
because I have 300 other comments to look at.
So, what we've done is we've got 14 videos
that covers everything for plantar fasciitis.
We put it in one area,
that you can go to conveniently
and look over and only pick out the videos
that pertain to your foot pain.
And a bonus on this Bob,
is there's a PDF printout
that you can print out on your printer.
And it gives you list of all the exercises
and review of that video.
They're about 10 minutes long.
- And I know what you're thinking.
After all of this like how much does this cost?
- Yeah, how much is it gonna cost?
That's the best thing it's completely,
absolutely free. - Absolutely free.
- We don't even ask for your email.
- No, you just can go ahead and start watching them.
You just go to bobandbrad.com,
and go to the program section.
- Right. - It's right on the page.
You can see it on the front page
and go to the plantar fasciitis.
- Yeah and you'll click on it.
There's you'll see the big- - All the list.
- Yap, the big toenail there,
the thumbnail or whatever it is,
with the title of it,
the PDF button to push.
I've got this down on the four categories
where there's 14 different titles.
- Yeah, tell them the categories.
- There's one for a heat, cold and massage.
There's three videos with the cover that.
Another few videos that cover stretching and strengthening.
- Yes. - And then another one
that covers this is a big one, foot wear, arch supports.
Liz's mom just say arch support
really made a difference for her.
- She was going through therapy
and not getting any help and-
- Not with us. - Not with us.
- Well of course, you're gonna be better right away then.
(Brad laughs)
- But she tried these arch supports
that we actually somebody had sent us
and she really had good luck with us.
- With our recommendation of course.
A night splints we cover about night splints.
And there's a taping procedure that's very simple
that you can do yourselves. - Yeah, anybody can do.
It's not a complicated taping. - Yeah.
You can't use scotch tape, but-
- Or duct tape.
- Yeah, we go through, you know
there was a therapist that was using duct tape.
I'm not afraid to do it.
I know Bob doesn't like that.
- I think it'd be irritated his skin.
- I'm gonna try it someday.
Anyways, I don't advise it.
Not in the video.
But anyways...
And then avoid there's one that's big.
There's 15 different pain makers that you might be doing.
You might be doing two or three of them every day-
- And you don't realize it.
- And you don't realize
that you're actually slowing yourself
down or making it a-
- Slow your healing down.
- A chronic problem and take those things away.
Again, all these on the program section, just look at them.
It's right there.
It's so efficient and easy for you.
- And we're actually got other programs there too.
- Right. - I mean one for sciatica
and I don't know what a-
- A tens unit.
- A tens unit. - Right.
- Some of them are in the process
of going up right now. - We've got a shoulder one
coming up, same concept. - Yap.
- It's gonna cover the whole body eventually.
It's a work in progress
that Bob has really...
He's the master of this.
- But we can't fix everything.
- We do not have a video for-
- Fixing a broken heart.
- But- - We'll work on it.
- Yeah, we don't know if we're gonna for sure do that.
We're gonna maybe write a book instead.
- On relationships.
All right, thanks for watching.
- Why Bob?
(Bob chuckles)
